Hmm I realized I'm missing a post from June....

I made the twins 18th birthday cakes and don't see that post. Maybe I saved it as draft and deleted it lol. These are giant chocolate cookie cakes that I made. The pokeball was easy, but I spent some time "painting" with frosting and gel fondant colors to get the tardis starry starry night. We thought they turned out pretty nice...not perfect, but hey lol.

One of the twins also graduated - the other has one year left since she's also getting her associates degree at the same time.

It's that time again!

I love love love seeing these in the store! The picture is a little fuzzy, but that is 2 stalks of brussel sprouts in my cart. Yummy! I got so excited when I saw them that I squealed a little and had someone asking me how to cook them and then they bought some too LOL. We've already made some and ate them without taking any pic of the final dish. We barely made a dent in one stalk, so there will be plenty more.

I split them into halves then saute with some olive oil, fresh minced garlic, salt, pepper, and sun dried tomatoes. This time I also added some fresh mushrooms. It is the best way I've had sprouts and I crave them like this year round. They are sooooooo much better fresh off a stalk - the difference in taste (and texture) is incredible.

It's been an amazing day and these just topped it off. 

And here's this handsome fella - Maximus is 8 months old today and a huge precocious mess that will melt your heart with just a look and a lifted paw for you to shake while he drools all over you lol 

I haven't written in awhile yet again...

So, this is one thing that has been taking up my time lately ...this is Maximus at almost 2 months old

here's Laila dragging him around by a stuffed bear as they play...nowadays he drags her around

and here are current pictures of him at 7 1/2 months old...he's going to be huge

Laila looks soooo small now compared to him and she's a 60 lb dog lol.
